(CN) — Nearly 500 million years ago, life on Earth was very different. The continents were rocky and dry with little vegetation and the barren poles held no ice. Nearly all plant and animal life ...

A team of scientists from South Ural State University has created a mathematical model of a complex insect eye, which will later be used for a prototype device based on computer vision technology. In ...

A project at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has demonstrated an artificial compound eye that the team believes could revolutionize robot vision. Described in Science ...

"This symposium originated when fourteen of the contributors presented their recent findings on the eye and vision of insects to the International Congress of Entomology held in Canberra, Australia in ...

Copying the human lens takes robotic technology a long-way; however, the compound eyes of insects provides a different level of visualization when it comes to peripheral vision. Other advantages that ...

Night vision is ultimately about extracting information from a noisy visual input. Several species of nocturnal insects exhibit complex visually guided behaviour in conditions where most animals are ...
